The independent commission charged by Mexico's president has reported that the military obstructed investigations into human rights abuses, threatening Mexico's path towards justice and democracy.
The report details that between 1965 and 1990, the Mexican military violently repressed dissent, leading to hundreds of extrajudicial executions and the disappearance of at least 1,000 people.
Efforts to bring perpetrators of human rights abuses to justice have historically failed, but President Lopez Obrador established a truth commission in 2021 to uncover the past's horrors.
Researchers found shocking incidents, including the massacre of 300 Indigenous people and the murders of 100 transgender women, highlighting a grim history of state-sanctioned violence.
